I hate to break it to you, but you can't spot tone. In order to look tone, you have to have a low body fat percentage. Generally, people will put weight on first in places like their stomach and on their thighs. This means that those locations will…
I don't really think there is a limit. I've personally been doing the DVD's for about three years or more and lifting way more than you. I think as long as you just keep increasing when appropriate, it shouldn't be a problem.
Caffine helps keep you metabolism going - a great way to lose weight. And since it has no calories, it is perfectly find to drink. If you can't handle it black, try adding a natural sweetener like Stevia.
I have counted calories for about two years or so now and I probably will never stop. First thing, after a while you memorize the amounts of calories in certain foods, and therefore it becomes less time consuming and not such a hassle. Secondly, yes…
Get Ripped 1000 definately has some intense cardio segments in it that will definately help you burn fat. As far as other forms of cardio go, kickboxing, as you mentioned, or something similar, is an awesome alternative. Even simple activities like…
I would definately suggest adding cardio into your routine to get rid of body fat. I'm a big fan of doing HIIT on the treadmill or on a stationary bike.
Continue doing the Ripped videos as well. They will help you develop muscle which is critical to…
If you go on www.bodybuilding.com they have a protein bar database. You can enter in what you're looking for in a protein bar and it'll bring up a list of bars. They have pretty much every bar imaginable and most of them are reasonable priced too.
I blend 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1/3 cup pure pumpkin, stevia, and vanilla. Then I top it with 1/2 sliced banana, 1 tbsp all natural peanut butter, and some Kashi Go Lean!
I have to echo the accolades!! I purchased GER right when it came out and did it once, but since I hate doing legwork (love the results, hate the work ;)), I never made myself do it again.......until this morning! I went to get out my R1000 DVD and…
The only way you are going to lose the fat is by creating a calorie deficit. I would suggest, at the most, creating a daily deficit of 500. This way you would expect to lose about a pound a week.
Make sure you get plenty of cardio in as well as keep…
Personally, I don't think it really matters when you take your protein shake. Although, a protein shake made with whey protein is good for a postworkout meal because it is digested quickly which you need after a workout. As for a bedtime shake, case…

mix it all up in a bowl, microwave for 3-5 min till it's cooked thoroughly and wrap it up in a whole grain tortilla wrap.…
When I first started out with healthy eating I weighed/measured everything just so I could make sure I was getting accurate amounts of calories. But after a while I was able to just eyeball how much say 4oz of chicken is.
I would also just like to mention that following the Canadian Food Guide is a good idea. Alot of people lack the nutrients when they diet because they fail to fit in all the food groups. Make sure you get in your dairy and grains.
The amount someone eats varies for each individual. To determine how much you should be eating I would recommend either going to a dietitian, finding a caloric calculator on the internet, or buying something like a bodybugg.
If you are trying to ton…
